OSC As a Dating Site?
#1 ONLINE
Posted Today, 11:49 AM
I have a friend who is looking at setting up a dating site in a niche ex-pat area where she lives.
Is this something that OSC could be adapted for? and is anone aware of any osc sites that have been set up this way?
Many Thanks

I was just thinking how to handle shipping issues, per weight maybe?
Attributes configuration is also interesting, e.g. blond/brunette or big nose/small nose etc

I remember what it was like when I first started with osC. It can be overwhelming.
However, I strongly recommend considering hiring a professional for extensive site modifications, site cleaning, etc.
There are several good pros here on osCommerce. Look around, you'll figure out who they are.

All said, while some of the osC product database and searching might be usable, I think that so much else would have to be changed or customized that osC (or any other general purpose shopping cart) would not be a good base. The search is the biggest, most proprietary part of any dating site, to get the best matches, and the osC search would probably be fairly primitive compared to what's needed.

Let's keep things simple: Both, search and charge will be plain and simple by weight !
A man search for a 58kg woman, add her to cart. Same does the woman.
If both have each other in the cart, they get a match message, checkout button appear, they checkout and pay according to weight
Woman pay for 75kg man, man pay for 58kg woman the module exist already.
How about that ?

Well, I was just joking, but lets keep thinking in this direction
Each user is automatically a product. Upon account creation user enters 2 types of info
1) Private info - that goes to the customers tables
2) Product info - that goes to the product tables
Once someone is added to somebody else cart, he'll receive a notification about that

Wow, such an announcement
I think all you need now is a "add to cart" button?
Now it's time for some personal info to make a proper checkout, please fill out the following form
----------
weight: [ ]
----------
(The system is a bit limited at the beginning, more features will be added, but weight is the most important for now, we need to configure shipping/payment)
I like this topic so much !
